CHARLES H. MOORE, OF YONKERS, NEW YORK.

WATER-CLOSET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 236,905, dated January 25, 1881.

Application iiled May B, 1880.

To all lwhom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GHAs. H. MOORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Yonkers, in the county of Westchester and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Water- Oloset, of which the following is a specication.

My obj ect is to insure perfect security against the inflow of gases from the sewer; to provide against the accumulation of odorous sediment in the outlet-chamber; to have the elements in the closet operate, in conjunction with a valve in a cistern, in a manner to prevent the closet from becoming accidentally empty, and to provide a bowl of aform at the top to answer as a urinal and slop-sink.

The closet can be made in separate parts; but I prefer making. it in one jointless piece, of any suitable material.

In the accompanying drawings, making part of this speciiication, Figure 1 represents a central vertical section. Fig. 2 represents a top view. Fig. 3 represents a transverse section of the outlet-chamber.

A represents a closet-bowl, formed into a square shape at the top by the lips b b b b.

A' represents the outlet-chamber, and E an overflowpipe extending from the overflowchamber O to a point below the outlet-valve U. The mouth of the overIiow-pipe E is situated so that at al1 times, when water is in the closet, the valve C that closes the mouth of the overiiow-pipe is submerged, and is lifted from its bearing by the float B only at times when water accumulates above a regulated height. The iioat B is fixed to the valve G in a manner to give it ample play to operate in conjunction with a valve in a cistern.

The rod L (or a chain can be used) is intended to operate the valve in a cistern, and is connected with the lever D of the float. The lever D is supported in the stand Z, which can eitherl be secured to the closet or floor.

N is a water-box made between the bowl A and outlet-chamber A', having openings into each for distributing water. By removing the top and the outlet-chamber side of the waterbox N it can be used to support a supply-valve.

G is a means which I will call a partition,77 placed in the outlet-chamber A' below the inlet or water-spread K, and is intended to im- (No model.)

pede the flow of water from the outlet-chamber. The partition can ce placed on the spindle; but I prefer having it stationary, with a hole through it for the spindle to operate in. The water-spread H supplies the bowl. The seat on which the valve O of the overflow operates has guides to conduct the Valve to its seat and prevent its getting displaced.

Having described inyinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

1. The closet-bowl A, the outlet-chamber A', and the chamber N, located between the bowl and the outlet-chamber, all made in one piece, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The closet-bowl A, the outlet-chamber A', the overilow-pipeE, and the water-distributin g box N, all made in one piece, as and for the purpose s'et forth.

3. The water-box N, located between and having distributing-outlets into the bowl and the outlet-chamber.

4. A water-receiver connected to the bowl and the outlet-chamber, having an opening for a tube from the suppl y-valve and distributingoutlets into the bowl and the outlet-chamber, as and for the purpose set forth.

5. The water-inlet K in the outlet-chamber A', in combination with a water-distributing chamber, as and for the purpose set forth.

6. A valve fitted on the mouth of an overiiow discharge-pipe, and adapted to be seated at all times when water is at its regulated height, in combination with a valve-seat having a guide attached to it to conduct the valve to its seat, and a float to open the valve if water increases in the receiver above a certain height.

7. The closet-bowl A, the outlet-chamber A', and the chamberN, located between the closetbowl and the outlet-chamber, and having an opening in the side for a supply-pipe, and an opening, H, in the closet-bowl, substantially as shown.

8. An overflow dischargepipe having a valve covering the mouth of it, and adapted to be seated at all times when water is at a regulated height, in combination with a valveseat having a guide attached to it, a spindle attached to the valve and operating in the IOO guide of the valve-seat, and a means for lifting the said valve from its seat when water increases in the receiver above a certain height.

9. In a side-outlet water-closet, a partition placed in the outlet-chamber or receiver above the neck of the bowl, in combination with an inlet into the receiver from the supply-valve and a port leading from the lower part of the receiver to the lower part of the closet, as and for the purpose set forth.

10. A water-closet bowl formed into a square shape at the top by the corners b b b b of the bowl, and having but one serviceable outlet.

11. In combination with the tloat B and lever D, secured to and operating on the support or stand Z, the rod or chain L. as and for the pnrpose set forth. i

12. In a water closet wherein water is intended to remain at a regulated height, except at times when the closet is purposely empty, and wherein the mechanism is arranged to supply the closet upon the outlet-valve being opened or reseated, an overow discharge-pipe with the inouth submerged, having a valve covering the oriee to form a water-tight joint, and adapted to be seated at all times when water is at a regulated height, in combination with a means provided to lift the valve from its bearing on the seat and permit the escape of any accidental accumulation of water.
